Go to control panel>internet options>programs tab>select Outlook Express in the email field>click "OK".. . Just to be SURE the change(s) take affect, restart your computer and try it out.. . If it doesn't work, try opening Outlook Express, and when/if prompted to make OE your default, choose YES. Then in OE go to tools>options>general tab>default messaging programs, click "make default" next to "This application is/is not the default mail handler".

Um, Microsoft Outlook _IS_ Outlook.. . But, if you're using a program on your computer to check your mail, I STRONGLY suggest you use Mozilla Thunderbird. It's more secure against viruses and hacking attemps, and is customizable.. . Besides, Mozilla Thunderbird gets important security updates MUCH more often than Outlook does. Microsoft is VERY slow with updating their products.

maybe you set it to the wrong one, instead of e-mail, it could have been oput under somthing else! or ur pressing the wrong button, or your button is only made to go to outlook and not express
